 ”
J.F. — Adams, ND
“

When we started planning our trip we were overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. After checking out Brekke Travel we knew that was the answer. A cousin and Aunt who had traveled with you before said you will be treated like kings and queens. They were absolutely right! Thanks.

“

The tour was well planned. Time was planned well. I didn’t feel rushed. Tour guide was excellent.

 ”
R.M. — 2015 Tour Participant
“

From our initial contacts to the careful work Mr.Brekke did in researching where the family grandparents had immigrated from and making the arrangements for a guide for that part of the trip; to Kim who made the arrangements for the extra day in Oslo, taking care of the airline tickets, and answering questions-to the other staff members who provided assistance, it was all super. Brekke Tours provide an excellent opportunity to see Norway and the selection of an excellent tour guide and bus driver who makes the trip fantastic from the beginning to the end. Participants feel they had the best of the best!

 ”
J.H. — Northfield, MN
“

So many times during my tour, I was left in awe. The pure majesty of nature and historic architecture that I witnessed will stay with me for a lifetime. I’m definitely coming back for more!
